Hi there,
Giving Tuesday has arrived, and we have so much to be thankful for. Over the last few weeks, we’ve shared stories from our community with the hope they would stir you to support our efforts to catalyze positive change. Collecting these stories has allowed us to reflect on the past year and take stock of the many things we’ve accomplished.
Last week, you met Fred Arcoleo, the local artist who has been a loyal client (through sickness and in health) of our first worker coop, Ecomundo. We told you how NMIC is putting collective power into community hands through programs like our worker cooperatives.
We introduced you to Eugenia, who came to us looking to improve her career and left happily employed. You learned how our education and career services are helping people on the path to self-sufficiency by providing them with the tools to improve their careers.
We told you about the Cruzes, the disabled family of four who came to us from a shelter. We connected them with expert legal advice in housing and immigration issues, and to healthcare and a food pantry. Our capacity to address several urgent client needs under one roof is what makes us a cornerstone of our community.
This Giving Tuesday help us raise $5000 for these critical services. With today’s donation you make it possible for us to provide free services that help community members resolve their crises and achieve their goals. Thank you for all you do to support our work.
Yours in Solidarity,
NMIC
